I grew up in Kansas City, on the Kansas side, where I spent my
childhood playing in the woods behind my house. I was the accident
in my family and came 11 years after the closest of my three older
siblings. I play the piano and am a fast runner. Went to the
University of Kansas and got a degree in Finance with a
concentration in Chemistry. After graduation I sang in a
professional chamber ensemble for two years, tried to start a
company, failed, then helped my mom start a company, ongoing. I'm a
candidate in the CFA program and finally, moved to New York about a
year ago and am loving every minute of it. I also ride my bicycle
to work. That basically sums it up.

That's kind of weird to reduce the basics of your life to a single
paragraph.

Me personally, I'm rather adventuresome and independent. In
general, I'm a relatively quite person, not shy or reclusive by any
means, but just...quiet. I'm a big fan of the CSA I joined this
summer and tend to cook a lot, which my roommates enjoy. Being
active and physical is very important to me and keeps me sane. I'm
loving New York and don't think I'll be heading back to the
mid-west anytime soon, but I do miss hanging out with my nieces,
nephews, brothers and sister.
